Experts from DeskTime have found that the most productive work pattern involves a '75/33 work-to-rest cycle', where employees work for 75 minutes followed by a 33-minute break. This method appears more effective in in-office environments, suggesting that the social interactions and natural breaks found there enhance productivity. Historical comparisons show shifts from different work patterns over the years, with current trends emphasizing balance and mental rejuvenation amidst hybrid work setups. The analysis involved 6,000 users, marking significant changes in productivity cycles since prior studies.
The most productive employees operate on a '75/33 work-to-rest-cycle', meaning they work for 75 minutes and then rest for 33 minutes.
Our latest productivity research shows we're returning to more balanced working habits related to hybrid work; the new 75/33 ratio may be linked to working in-office again.
When DeskTime conducted the work/break ratio study in 2021, we noted the impact of working from home on the ability to draw a line between work and life.
These interruptions, vital for mental rejuvenation, contribute to employee wellbeing and provide necessary social dynamics that enhance productivity.
